It was 1:36 pm.
We were tired,
We wanted to go home.
After a long day at the water park,
We all needed a nap.

My parents went to the lockers
With our stuff in them,
And told me to wait
By the changing rooms.

I rounded the corner
I was heading for the showers
To rinse the chlorine out of my bathing suit.
I stopped in my tracks.

There I saw
An all too familiar face
In an all too familiar position.

She was in my class
Last year.
Her head was in her hands,
And her knees were together.
She was sitting on the curb.

She sat like that a lot
Last year.

Her head peaked up,
And I looked away.

Out of all days,
It had to be today,
At the water park.

She waved.
I pretended like I couldn't see her.
She was smiling though,
And lip-syncing to the song playing through the speakers,
"We don't talk anymore."

And though I pretended like I couldn't see her,
I could see her.
And she could see me.

And I
Wasn't
Insulting her.
